    What is Creosote?

    Creosote is a highly flammable tar-like substance that forms when wood burns incompletely. It accumulates on chimney walls and is the #1 cause of chimney fires in the United States. The NFPA recommends annual inspections and cleaning to prevent dangerous buildup.

    Creosote ignites at just 451°F (233°C)

    Chimney flue temperatures can easily exceed this during normal use. Even 1/8" of buildup is considered a fire hazard.

    Three Levels of Creosote

    Level 1 (Soot)

    Light, powdery buildup easily removed with standard brushing

    Danger: Low

    Level 2 (Flaky)

    Shiny, tar-like flakes that require more aggressive removal

    Danger: Medium

    Level 3 (Glazed)

    Hardened, glossy coating extremely difficult to remove. Highly flammable.

    Danger: HIGH - Fire Hazard
